⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[snipie]

I think the difference is that if Felix wants to stay, and do not want to go back, then he could just force the team to sell him for whatever Barcelona could afford, and that's the way many players has switched teams as well. I am not saying that he will be able to, but he can try to do that.

So, if Barcelona can afford let's say 55 million, then Felix could say "either get the 55m from Barcelona and sell me, or I will say I am injured and not play with you and wait out until my contract ends and you get nothing from me" type of deal. Some teams see the bluff and just do not sell, and it may even work out for the team, and some teams end up just giving up and letting the player go in that situation and get whatever they can.

Let's assume Joan Felix wants to leave Atletico Madrid and move to Barcelona at any cost and Atletico refused to sell him or give it in loan again then what he could do to force them? Simeone could end up letting him on benches and destroying his career until 2029. This long term contract type made the position of the player to negotiate with his team very weak. I doubt Atletico Madrid will do that obviously but if they need him they will try to convince him to play with them with a promesse to be sold later easier.

Yes, that's the problem, actually Joao Felix really wants to play with his favorite club. Joao Felix looks proud to play with a big club like Barcelona, but unfortunately this club is having financial problems in being able to make it permanent and has difficulty buying some good players. Barcelona's management itself seems confused about what steps to take. One of Barcelona's hopes is to sell Lewandowski to Saudi Arabia for a high price so that Barcelona can use the money to invest in young players who have good potential, but the question is, can Barcelona afford to lose Lewandowski?? In my opinion, Lewandowski has experienced a significant decline and perhaps his age no longer allows him to continue his career at Barcelona. Barcelona needs young players who have more potential and strong energy. Barcelona management must think carefully about this.

The fact that Joao Felix suddenly regained his form and scored goals is bad news for Robert Lewandowski. Why? Because that means attention must now inevitably turn towards the highest-paid player, Robert Lewandowski is the highesh-paid, most experienced player, but he is in poor form this season. On the surface, Barcelona is not in any serious situation. But Barca still needs to be better than expectations. Their La Liga stats are significantly worse than last year and in the meantime. There was an alarming decline in the performance of striker Robert Lewandowski. Overall, Barcelona is scoring fewer goals, conceding more, and has fewer points than last season. Xavi's idea of Lewandowski becoming the man to revive his Camp Nou is said to have gone up in smoke.

Barcelona's financial situation has mostly stayed the same. So Lewandowski's future is a question mark. Therefore, the best solution for Barcelona and Xavi will be offers from the Saudi Pro League for Lewy if this striker cannot improve his performance and attitude.

What's the point of keeping such a player on the bench and paying him a salary all these years? Of course this will not happen, if Felix cannot play at Atlético as well as he does in other teams, then Atlético will simply sell him. Or if he continues to perform well at Barcelona and is able to score goals regularly, then Xavi will want to keep him in the team and Barcelona will offer to buy out his contract. For Atlético there is no point in reducing everything to simply ruining a player’s career, it is pointless.

He's been away from the pitch for quite a while now. It's time for him to get back to playing football. There's still a lot he can bring to the game, and with Newcastle's solid defense, he'd be a great addition. It seems like a smart move, and Newcastle seems like the perfect place for him. They'll be getting a skilled goalkeeper with plenty of Premier League experience. It's a fantastic opportunity for him.

If Newcastle United manages to sign De Gea, they'd be very lucky. He's been patiently waiting for Man United to call him back. Hopefully, he'll be back in the EPL with Newcastle soon.

Newcastle will be able to have a defense that is really difficult to penetrate if they can bring De Gea to play with them. Especially since De Gea age is not that old because he is only 33 years old so the quality of his performance is guaranteed not to decline significantly.
He previously played well with Manchester United but because Tan Hag did not renew his contract, De Gea had to leave. He is legend for Manchester United because he has defended Manchester United for 12 years and has achieved many saves for Manchester United.

Previously there were several rumors circulating about team that was going to bring in De Gea but failed, and it was even reported that Manchester United had called in De Gea again because Onana was not performing well but that also failed.
Now Newcastle is being linked with De Gea and we hope that this can happen where De Gea can appear to defend the team that trusts him to be able to strengthen the squad in the Premier League.

I see even more topics about Manchester United hiring a new player and especially news about De Gea returning to his team in Manchester United but so far nothing has been confirmed yet and even Ten Hag the coach of Manchester United before the match between Chelsea and Manchester United said they are not going to hire any more paly during January and this team will keep training the players they have to improve and get in the better situation.

Yes there is no reason to ruin a player's career, but if that happens then it can be said that the coach has personal problems and he is not professional in his work. Assuming the Atletico Madrid coach has a personal problem with Felix then let it be a problem off the field and he must be able to be professional, especially if Felix can provide something valuable to his club.
So far Felix's performance with Barcelona has been quite good and he has helped the team a lot. He also gets much better minutes than at his previous club. I'm sure if he has a lot of playing minutes he will also be able to become a reliable player, he has the potential for that.

Victor Osimhen is good and can go on to become another big name in football from Africa but there's no way he's gonna play exactly like Didier Drogba. He still has many more years to write his name in the history book of football like Drogba did but until then, let's keep our fingers crossed.

Back in the old days, there were a lot talents which can solo carrying their teams, but it's not gonna possible again in modern football where there's a lot strategy to overcome that. I think it's only Mbappe that can do one man show, both Osimhen and Haaland still need a support from their teammates.

So true. We can't see haland in the game without seeing city to have a good attacking midfielder.

https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-city-player-ratings-vs-aston-villa-erling-haaland-villans-ensure-champions-lose-more-ground-in-title-race/

Haaland is not always appearing when his club was facing the strong club int he EPL. Missing rodri was totally a disaster for manchester city coz the only creative player owned by city was him. Bernardo silva? this guy can do nothing without a good attacking midfielder. Missing attacking midfielder has become one of main problem faced by manchester city right now. Pep needs to find a good backup for the citizen.

In fact, the performance from manchester city was always dropping so hard without creative attacking midfielder.

So far Felix's performance with Barcelona has been quite good and he has helped the team a lot. He also gets much better minutes than at his previous club. I'm sure if he has a lot of playing minutes he will also be able to become a reliable player, he has the potential for that.

There seems to be an issue between him and the Atlético coach. I now understand why many of their players end up moving to Barcelona or other clubs.
Barca will negotiate with Atlético Madrid for Felix that's for sure. I think Barca fans can agree with that; they love this lad and want him to stay. For Felix, I would like to say that no matter how you feel, no matter how bad things are right now, no matter how many days you've felt bad at Atlético, I hope things will change in the upcoming days. A better understanding for the betterment from both sides will take place.

If Atletico Madrid do not want to lose Felix then they should be more respectful, because in my opinion he also deserves a place, in fact when he was at another club he also got a place. But if Atletico Madrid no longer need him then they should release this plyer permanently and without making it difficult for him to leave. Now he's at the club he wants to be at, but the problem is Barcelona haven't escaped their financial problems either, so Felix must be able to play as well as possible to convince Barcelona that he is a good player for them. So Barcelona can try to reach an agreement with Atletico Madrid.

We can't currently limit how many more achievements this player can earn in the future, but time will tell. Although he is playing exceptionally well, he hasn't accomplished as much as Didier Drogba over the course of his career. Victor Osimehn's inspiration is Didier Drogba, and he constantly aspires to be like him. Despite his football career and accomplishments, he still needs to play in more competitive leagues like the Premier League and La Liga before he can even come close to becoming as successful as Didier Drogba. To this day, every African is proud of the legendary football player Didier Drogba was.

[Blitzboy]

In my opinion, Felix is ​​not of Barcelona quality. If you have scored 2 goals in 12 games and have such bad statistics as a striker, if he cannot be permanent in Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid may not want him and I think he may now turn his route towards Saudi Arabia. Even though he is 24 years old, he is far from showing the required performance.

This is not just about him scoring as a striker that he is but also about how many assists and contributions he has provided for his club in the front position that he plays from. If a player has only one quality in football and cannot play from different positions, it becomes hard for the coach to play them when they need them to play versatile. His number of goals doesn’t matter now, what matters is bringing him to the club as a permanent deal player since the coach already knows what he possess and can easily fix him in at anytime.

Agree. Your opinions are correct but with the current economic situation. Barcelona cannot choose a quality player for themselves. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid only agreed to sit at the negotiating table if Barcelona was willing to spend 80 million for Felix. In contrast, the home team at Camp Nou is expected to meet the price of 40 million Euros with a player exchange agreement. Barcelona should reconsider. They already have Lewandowski, but he is showing a severe decline in form. I think they should continue to borrow Felix, release Lewandowski's contract, and find themselves a quality player.

The arrogant celebration after the goal against Atletico Madrid was a risky step in Joao Felix's career, as if it ended his return to playing for his team. Barcelona and the player born in 1999 will face many difficulties if they want to get together.

Although Barcelona's finances are precarious, I think they're missing out on Joao Felix. Although expensive, Felix has a youthful vitality and versatility thats hard to find. Invest in his abilities. I dont think trading Lewandowski, despite his form drop, is wise. He's a successful scorer who can benefit from stronger support. Barcelona must balance the books and consider long-term. In the future, young, dynamic athletes like Felix may be worth stretching the money.

That is how it always is and whether Osimhen plays as good in any other team as he did for Napoli, as you said time will tell. There are players who have no problems whatsoever to always show their best performances regardless of the team they are playing for. I don't know whether Osimhen is that kind of player, but I believe he is good enough to have a place in many top teams. But would he be able to make it into the first eleven players of Real Madrid? I don't know and yet he has the score statistics that drew some attention to him.

[QueenVera]

There is only one drogba in the world and that's drogba. There was also one ronaldo and messi in the world and that's ronaldo and messi. There will be no copycat of them. The new personality will never able to copy them.
They were the best in their era and this time for the young talented players to show that if they can be as good as them. Ronaldo and messi have become the most hyped competitors in the football.

Any of those GOATs have their biggest fanbase which are amazing. We may not able to see that time to comeback again. Im not skeptical about the new era but there will be no new talent who will be as good as them all.
Ronaldo and messi or even drogba are way differ compared to the new players. Im see that how many if young talented players are not going all in.

It's rarely to find someone who was able to have special skill these days like messi or ronaldo even drogba which have their own uniqueness.

From the inception of football, there have been legends, stars and players who have done explicitly well for themselves, their teams they had times with. Every man got in himself his own unique skills, there was something that caused them to stand out amongst all, something really different. It's very beautiful that at every time, there's always been fans' favorite in football, and it's not something that'd stop occurring, the only difference would be the fact that the next favorite will have his own talk about story and unique style of play too.

 There have been Drogba, Pele, Maradona, Messi, Ronaldo. This wouldn't be the end of the least. Currently the most talked about is Ronaldo and Messi because there's not been anyone who's come out with his own style to make a huge impact to football and it'll soon occur. In a couple of years, there'd be a new rise of star and definitely the football world would embrace him and 🥳 him just as others. Every man just has to build himself and create uniqueness in his game and the impact would be seen and hailed.

Evaluating the Nigerian striker from his past clubs will show that he has succeeded in the French club Lille and is having a good time in Napoli. He is an aggressive player that perfectly suits the Italian league but I think he will also do well in Spain. Playing under an experienced coach like Carlo Ancelotti would bring out the best in the Nigerian striker. Most players will excel anywhere if they play under a good coach and a good team. Real Madrid has some of the best creative players in Europe who will constantly create goalscoring chances for the Nigerian striker. Karim Benzema excelled in Real Madrid because he had the support he needed to score.

More rumors today about a possible loan for Sancho to Juventus.

Remember it will be possible only if Manchester will pay a part of his salary, Juventus can probably use the money of Pogba salary due the imminent ban.

Juventus stands to sign him from Manchester United? Probably one of these rumors circulating round. Jadon Sancho have become more aggressive and no longer feature in Manchester United matches due to the problem he has with the headcoach, Erik Ten Hag. We are quite aware of the problem that raised between them and Erik Ten Hag demand an open apology from the player, and Sancho have been recalcitrant since then. Pushing for an exits door from Old Trafford is very possible because he's a potential player that has alot to handle in the frontline, young and promising.

Why does a player get into the bad eye of Ten Hag in Man UTD whenever he is looking to improve? I thought Sancho was showing signs of improvement. And now there is a problem with the coach and that's why he is not a regular in the playing 11. That's just sad. And in this way, a team is not going to bring in good results at all. What does Ten Hag think actually? Does he think that Man UTD which is not performing well at the moment is the only club with a legacy? And for that legacy, any player will tolerate anything? If he does then he is just stupid.

Jadon Sancho should have obeyed and apologised openly to the coach; doing so will not cost him anything. Also, he will not sit on the bench for an extended period of time without playing because this will negatively impact his performance on the field. Jadon Sancho is a promising young player, but his career could have gone rough because he refused to apologise, but he is fortunate to still be a young player with more to offer any team that signs him. His move to Juventus will be fantastic, but I doubt Manchester United will want to loan him out; they'd rather sell him than loan him and I hope Juventus will also agree to buy him rather than having him on loan in the team.

What you say is true, if Jadon Sancho thought and acted like that then he would not be alienated by Ten Hag at this time. I think young players need more advice from their seniors or agents, to change their way of thinking for the sake of the sustainability of their careers in the future. However, we never know the details of the conflict other than what we read in the media. It could be that the breakdown in his relationship with Ten Hag as a result of refusing an apology is sometimes only one part, who knows, behind the scenes there are more things we missed.

Previously, several clubs were reported to be interested in recruiting Sancho, including Juventus and Dortmund. However, everything will be proven when the transfer window opens, but here considering the background of the move due to conflict, it is clear that United will not accept the loan offer. It makes sense because they intend to let him go and keep Ten Hag longer, which is why the possibility of a loan is hard to happen.

Back in the old days, there were a lot talents which can solo carrying their teams, but it's not gonna possible again in modern football where there's a lot strategy to overcome that. I think it's only Mbappe that can do one man show, both Osimhen and Haaland still need a support from their teammates.

Sorry boss I don't agree with you because if Kylian Mbappe is a one-man show, why didn't he provide a single assist in the presence of Lionel Messi and Neymar? Despite Messi and Neymar providing the majority of their assists, So I totally disagree with you that Kylian Mbappe is a one-man show. One man show needs a lot of effort; just a few goals didn't represent anyone as one man show. Carrying a club or legacy requires a legend, not talent. I mean, there are a few people in the world of football who do this "one-man show," like Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Iniesta, etc.

Moreover, Kylian Mbappe, Earling Haaland, and Victor Osimen are all good players, but they don't have the potential to carry on clubs like Messi or Ronaldo do. These guys are dependent on others, so how can they carry a club?
Image
Guys, you can see in it the last season when Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe played together. Mbappe scored 43 goals with Messi, and Neymar assisted him, but now he has scored fewer goals than the previous season. So I think the reason for not scoring more goals is the absence of Messi or Neymar because they scored more goals in the middle of the season than the previous season because both of them assisted Mbappe more. A one-man carry requires a consistency that Mbappe cannot do without a provider.

Kylian Mbappe can do that, he's got both the pace, strength, skills and teammates to support him. ( Don't forget, Team mates ) They all would need support from them mates because they can't attack and at the same time defend. It's reason why they remain a team. Ronaldo did all of that but at q certain time he realized the game was all about goals and goal scoring.

Victor Oshime can not play exactly like Drogba but he's got that mentality. Chelsea football club has got to be jokers, they signed Nicholas Jackson?! A player who didn't come top of his goal scorers. Chelsea will need a leader and goalscorer and Victor Oshime fits in.
Erling Haaland already has the support of his entire squad, they play almost every pass to him to score.

Sancho wouldn't be the first to have a promising career but due to character issue has fallen out. The player before coming to Manchester united was indeed a prospect and was rated as one of the best upcoming youngstars but due to his inability to blend with the coach, he has fallen out of play and it's almost as if Manchester united waisted all their money to bring him to the club and what I think united should do now is to just sell him out now that he still has some value in the market because at some point his purchase fee will drop drastically due to lack of playtime .

I think it's only Mbappe that can do one man show, both Osimhen and Haaland still need a support from their teammates.

Even Mbappe cannot be a one-man show. If his team is plain bad, he won't be able to do much. He's a good player and the best in his team but he needs his teammates to show for him before he can shine. I don't think there's any player currently that can be a one-man show for his team.
Even Drogba was not a one-man army. If the passes didn't come he won't be able to score.
Drogba was the kind of striker to disturb the opposing defense but most of his goals were given to him. He hardly scores solo goals even those he could create a chance out of nothing sometimes.
Before a player can be called a one-man show the player has to be able to create goals for himself and his teammates, control the tempo of the game, and keep his team alive.
Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar at their peak are the most recent players I could think of that were that good.

But isn't this the same for every player in every team sport? This one-man army or one-man show idea does never make sense. There are games when you could think that it was this one player who won the game, but of course there is more to that than just the one player. Mbappe will always stand out from the rest and that is why all the clubs are after him. But every good player benefits from the players around him and if he doesn't, then the players around him must suck pretty hard and that again doesn't make sense because the outstanding player probably wouldn't be there in the first place.
